What is the strongest tape in the world?

3M makes the world's strongest double sided tape. It's called VHB, and used for commercial and construction applications. It's crazy strong when there is tension pulling on it, which creates a stronger bond.***************As mentioned above, the strongest tape available at this time is 3M VHB, which stands for "VERY HIGH BOND" This tape is used commercially for many things, and one of the most impressive is to tape metal sidings to buildings, in other words, instead of welding the metal panels to the side of a building they just use VHB tape and "stick" them to the building, making for a smooth and more aesthetically appealing look, instead of the more "industrial" look that the building otherwise would have if the panels were welded!In my book, if this tape is capable of holding metal panes to the side of a building, that's good enough for me!!Sometimes you can find this tape in small ammounts on eBay, so perhaps it will be good if you tested it first.Also, remember that there are different grades of VHB tape, so consult with the link I provided and check the 3M page to see which VHB tape is the one for your needs.

How do you preserve newspaper clippings?

To preserve newspaper clippings, store them in a cool, dark, and dry environment away from sunlight and humidity. Place the clippings between acid-free paper or in clear plastic sleeves to protect them from damage. Avoid using adhesive or tape directly on the clippings, as they can cause discoloration and deterioration over time.
